Trade Good Under the More Favorable
Weather Conditions-Prices Steady.
INDIANAPOLIS April %.
In nearly all departments to-day trade was
brisk. There were large number of buyers in
from the surrounding towns and mail orders
were liberal, and the volume of business in the
month now nearing its close promises to be quite
satisfactory, notwithstanding the fact that bust
ness through the month has been curtailed
somewhat through the backwardness of the sea-
SON. In all departments there is firm tone to
prices on the articles which come into the most
general consumption Grocers the last day or
two have been very busy. The strong tone to
prices to most staple articles tends to increase
the demand, especially where the range of prices
is low, as for sugars. Without question this mar
ket will advance, as the season for put
ting up fruits comes on. AT present
the prices of all grades are remarkably
low. While on coffees the range all grades
is extremely high, yet the oldest and most con-
sentative merchants predict that higher figures
yet to be reached But the buying of this
article is only In quantities to meet immediate
requirements The provision market rules
steady and a good trade is in progress in a job
bling way. and handlers of hog products will
make more money this year than in any year of
the last five. The produce men report trade as
rather spasmodical in character, first dull day
followed by one or more active days Prices,
a rule, are steady, and for eggs, butter and
poultry are probably to remain for some time
at the present range of quotations. The money
market is easy; unemployed money, however,
has not accumulated to any great extent but
the wants of borrowers are comparatively small
at present. and good paper is readily discounted.
A growing easness is reported in Eastern fnan-
cial centers.

pursue other studies. Among his ignorant
~neighbors, some of whom were Jealous that
their own children were not among the num-
Der, this caused unpleasant gossip, and Mrs.
Severn and her husband induced Ruskin to
forbid the children the house. This made
Ruskin very angry at Mrs. Severn. He i'm
mediately sat down and wrote letters all over
the country denouncing Mrs. Severn in the
strongest terms. Fortunately he left the
sealing of the letters to his faithful valet,
Baxter, who saw that they were never posted.
Baxter never leaves him, and, it is said, is
not in the least influenced by the fact that
his master discharges him at least once a day.
Mr.. Ruskin went to live at the little coun-
try inn, and then to the cottage of a former
servant, accompanied by Baxter, of course.
He got possession of his check book, and gave
checks right and left, till he had overdrawn
his bank account. Then his malady took an
other turn. All excitement disappeared, and,
i'll physically as well as mentally, he took to
his bed in a melancholy and almost silly con-
dition. Then he grew better, but was soon
worse again, this time becoming more violent
than before. 1t was necessary to remove the
pictures from his bedroom, lest he destroy
them by his violence. Since then he has i'm
proved somewhat, and left Brentwood a
fortnight ago, but whittier he has gone no
one at Coniston knows. Everything in the
house is put away carefully, as thougha long
absence was contemplated. On leaving the
place the unhappy owner remarked that he
might n, Yer see it again.

FODDER CORN AS DAIRY FEED.

Hoard's Dairyman quotes Professor
Henry's experience, as follows: He took
one-fifth of IN acre of fodder corn, which
yielded of dry fodder $3.50 pounds, or
at the rate of six tons and a quarter per
acre. This is the yield as compared with
hay, to start with. 70 have produced
the same value of fodder in timothy hay
in ordinary seasons as he got on a fifth
of an acre of fodder corn would have
required five acres of ground. Now see
how much better he made the fodder
corn produce. He fed it to four cows
with a daily ration of six pounds of bran
and four pounds corn meal, and the fifth
of an acre of fodder corn gave him 100
pounds of butter. One acre of fodder
corn cut fine and fed dry with three tons
of corn meal and bran, the latter costing
$40, produced 500 pounds of butter. The
cows were given their water at 80 de-
grees temperature. This one acre of fod-
der corn produced, with forty-five dol
lars worth of corn and bran, one hundred
and twenty-five dollars worth of butter.

LARD AND RESIN FOR TOOLS.

"a penny saved is two-pence earned"
Take about three pounds of lard and
one pound of resin. Melt them to-
gether in a basin or kettle and rub over
all iron or steel surfaces in danger of be-
ing rusted. 1t can be put on with a brush
or piece of cloth, and wherever it is ap-
piled it most effectually keeps air and
moisture away, and of course prevents
rust. When knives and forks, or other
household articles liable to rust or be-
come spotted, are to be laid away, rub
them over with this mixture and they
will come out bright and clean even years
afterwards. The coating may be so thin
as not to be perceived and still be effect
ual. Let every one keep a dish of this
preparation on hand. As it does not
spoil of itself, it may be kept ready-mixed
for months or years. Fresh lard, con-
tanning no salt, should be used. Resin is
a cheap article, and may be obtained al
most anywhere for -four to sig cents per
pound.-[Am. Agriculturist.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1887-09-16

In 1S43 Mr.. Ruskin published his Modern
Painters" which was a defense of landscape
art, especially of the paintings of Turner. 1t
was completed in five volumes in 1860.
Meantime he Travelled extensively, and also
produced "The Seven lamps of Architec-
ture" and "The Stones of Venice" He as
serted the superiority of modern art over
ancient art, and was among the first support
ers of the pre-Raphaelite school in one branch
at least. In 1867 he was named Rede pro-
fessor at Cambridge, in 1869 professor of the
fine arts at Oxford and later Slade professor.
Mr.. Ruskin's home, Brentwood, is built
romantically, but unhealthfully, at the base
of a hill near the edge Of Coniston lake. one
of the loveliest spots in the English lake dis
trict. When he purchased it the house was a
mere crumbling shed; but he has made 1t a
dwelling fit for a philosopher, if not a king.
Curiously enough a superstition prevails
among his ignorant %neighbors that the curse
of insanity is sure to fall upon the proprietors
of Brentwood. An artist named Lynton,
who formerly owned it, lost his mind and
died there. This, Of course, gave rise to the
superstition. Within the house is an mex
haustible museum of artistic treasures. Pic
lures there are in abundance, enough to crys-
tallize into a fortune. Among them are
many Turner's, since Ruskin was a Turner
worshiper. Art and science are equally
represented in the various articles lying
about-here a manuscript, there a picture;
here a section OF a stone, there the anatomy
of a plant. The furniture of the house is
strong and substantial-not in the least
aesthetic. Much of it belonged to Mr.. Rus
kin's father.
OF Ruskin's inherited wealth nothing re-
m~ains-nothing but the pictures. 1t has
melted away under the fervor of his passion
for everything that is rare, beautiful and
costly. And he has always had certain ideas
of comfort which it took money to crafty.
For a long time past he could not be induced
to travel by rail or steamboat if it could be
avoided, but went about in his private car
riage. Then, too, he was generous to a ruin
Gus degree. For years he had a list of pen
sioners who would cause the purse of a
Vanderbilt to collapse. They were mostly
writers who failed to get coin for their work,
and artists who had made the fight and
broken down before it was ended. His books
bring him in from $4,000 to $1,000 a year,
and upon this he is now living. Even that
gets sadly straitened sometimes, and occa-
sionally a picture disappears and is sold in
London by a dealer who has been Ruskin's
lifelong friend, and always for a far higher
price than Mr.. Ruskin paid for it. The fact
hat it is from his collection enhances its
value.
